- Аннотация: A computer code for the computation of the phase shift in atom-atom and electron-atom potential scattering is presented. The phase shift is the central quantity required for the calculation of all types of scattering cross sections. The program uses the Variable Phase Approach (VPA). This is the only exact method for the direct calculation of the scattering phase shift. All other methods are based on examining the large distance behavior of the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation. Such methods yield the phase shift only modulo . The absolute value of the phase shift and its variation with scattering energy is, however, needed for a full understanding of the scattering process, such as for instance in the study of shape resonances and Glory oscillations. The VPA has been sparingly used owing to the instability of the underlying equations and the consequent difficulty of writing computer code to solve them. We present a computer code for the efficient implementation of the VPA method for atom-atom scattering problems over a wide range of scattering energies. The code works for potentials which are singular and for those that are non-singular at the origin. An example of the implementation of the code is given for both an interaction potential with an attractive well and for a purely repulsive potential.
